Yes they are spawning. They are some kind of african cichlid, not sure which though.

Cynotilapia sp. 'elongatus (origin??)'. Looks like breeding to me. Is the female holding now??

 

[bboyspook]

I bought them originally as either Red Top Hongi or Yellow Mbambas. Not sure which those are though... both of them look alike to me They started today, so not sure if the female is holding yet.

Red top zebras spawning

Also, it sort of looks like the female is holding, so that is good. There is a slight bulge on her throat.

Ah, that makes much more sense. It was hard to identify the fish from the quality of the video, but I think that (at least the male is) definitely Labidochromis sp. 'mbamba'.

African Zebra. Yes they are spawnig. One of them will have eggs in their mouth, that would be the female.
